I highly suggest everyone go watch the first season (or even first few episodes) of an anime called Sword Art Online. It's about what will likely be a future iteration of this hardware applied to an MMO. Addiction to being plugged in, death within the game, and which is the true reality are all themes covered.
I never thought I'd suggest watching anime on Hacker News, but this topic proved to be the exception.
- kayoone 14y agoThe movie GAMER with Gerard Butler also has this theme. Its pretty horrible though :)
- CloakedAsh 14y agoI would also suggest reading Ready Player One by Ernest Cline. With people talking about not being able to take the goggles off this could be where we are headed.
